Method to Measure Indoor Radon Concentration in an Open Volume with Geiger-Mueller Counters: Analysis from First Principles
A simple method employing a pair of pancake-style Geiger-Mueller (GM) counters for quantitative measurement of radon activity concentration (activity per unit volume) is described and demonstrated. The use of two GM counters, together with the basic theory derived in this paper, permit the detection of alpha particles from decay of 222 Rn and progeny ( 218 Po , 214 Po ) and the conversion of th...
متن کاملPolymethylmethacrylate/Silver Nanocomposite Prepared by γ-Ray
Polymethylmethacrylate-silver (PMMA/Ag) nanocomposite is synthesized by irradiating the solution of silver ions in methylmethacrylate monomer by γ-ray. In this method, polymerization of the methylmethacrylate monomer and the silver ion reduction occurred simultaneously. Optical properties of the PMMA/Ag solutions are investigated using UV-Vis spectroscopy. The structural characterizations of th...
متن کاملMeasure the concentration of radon in fresh milk and compare it with radon values in samples of pasteurized milk
Radon is one of the most important radioactive gases.Radon emits alpha particles and ultimately,it can cause genetic disorders.There are many reports of carcinogenesis and its harmful effects.One way to get this gas into the body is by eating and drinking.In the meantime,milk is one of the most consuming foods that can be contaminated with radon.In this study, the concentration of radon gas was...
متن کاملFlow Stress Modeling in a γ-γ/ Cobalt Base Superalloy by Using the Hyperbolic Sine Equation and ANN Method
The new class of wrought γ-γ/ Co-base superalloys, which are based on Co-Al-W system, was developed by conventional hot working routes with a high volume fraction of γ/ precipitates and good mechanical properties. The aim of the present study was to predict the flow stress and hot deformation modeling of a novel γ-γ/ Co-base superalloy. The hot compression test...
متن کاملShould you measure the radon concentration in your home?
Radon, a naturally occurring radioactive element, was discovered in the year 1900, and high lung cancer rates among miners were recognized hundreds of years before that, but it wasn’t until the 1950s that researchers accepted that exposure to radon decay products was one of the major causes of the very high lung cancer rate among miners. Risks to the general population weren’t recognized until ...
